MLISTM Certification Reaccreditation

Once you earn the right to use the MLIS certification, you must engage in an ongoing continuing education process to maintain it. This involves obtaining 3 hours of approved professional and management liablity insurance continuing education credit during the 24 months following initial receipt of the certification and every 12 months thereafter. You may obtain this CE credit by completing online MLIS courses or attending seminars or conferences that have been approved for MLIS reaccreditation (and notifying us that you have completed them).

Online MLISTM Courses for Reaccreditation

In addition to the courses you completed when you obtained your MLIS certification, the MLIS Learning Center will offer other professional and management liability risk and insurance courses designed to increase your expertise. One of these courses is all that is necessary to satisfy your 3-hour CE requirement, and most will also qualify for insurance CE if you need it. Courses that are planned in the future to build a library of courses focused on the professional and management liability risk and insurance issues include:

• Management Liability for Privately-Held Companies
• Management Liability for Nonprofits
• Public Officials Liability

Alternatively, you may retake one of the core courses to satisfy the 3-hour requirement, and we recommend you do this every few years as we update the courses to cover the latest developments in professional and management liability risk and insurance.

Attend a Seminar, Webinar, or Conference

Your other option for maintaining your MLIS certification is to attend a conference or seminar that has been approved for MLIS reaccreditation. Approved seminars and conferences will be posted on this page.
